This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Woke up this morning.
I suddenly realized
We're all in this together.
I started smiling
Cause you were smiling.
And we're all in this together
I'm made of atoms.
You're made of atoms
And we're all in this together
And long division
Just doesn't matter
Cause we're all in this together.
Yeah.
I saw you walking
In the city.
We're all in this together.
The city's changing
Cause we are changing
And we are all in this together.
Every 12 seconds
Someone remembers that
We're all in this together.
In the kitchen
Of your rent control apartment,
We're all in this together.
Come on, baby.
I don't mean to rush you.
I only wanted to reach out and touch you.
I gotta start to open my heart.
I know you think about
Jumping ship before it sinks,
But we are all in this together.
Ask a scientist.
It's quantum physics.
We are all in this together.
And on the subway
We feel like strangers,
But we're all in this together.
Yeah, I love you and
You love her and she loves him
But we are all int this togehter
You know, baby,
There's never been protection
In all the history of human connection,
Come on, darling,
It's all right to show me.
You don't ever need to be lonely
Once you start to open your heart.
I saw you crying.
I started crying.
Cause we're all in this together,
And then religion
It's a big decision,
But we're all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
I suddenly realized
We're all in this together.
I started smiling
Cause you were smiling.
And we're all in this together
I'm made of atoms.
You're made of atoms
And we're all in this together
And long division
Just doesn't matter
Cause we're all in this together.
Yeah.
I saw you walking
In the city.
We're all in this together.
The city's changing
Cause we are changing
And we are all in this together.
Every 12 seconds
Someone remembers that
We're all in this together.
In the kitchen
Of your rent control apartment,
We're all in this together.
Come on, baby.
I don't mean to rush you.
I only wanted to reach out and touch you.
I gotta start to open my heart.
I know you think about
Jumping ship before it sinks,
But we are all in this together.

Cause we're all in this together,

But we're all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Love erin's comment of repetition being a double post >.>
Regardless though, in terms of the song itself, yes it is repetitive, such is the point, some artforms actually rely heavily upon the concept of repetition to enforce a point, slight variations to add flavour.
In the end it's true though, regardless of any self-made divisions, we all live, and we all die. We suffer and we feel joy. Well most of us do, I'm sure there's a few people that're miserable in general just for the sake of feeling miserable.
Oddly enough it actually reminds me of lyrics from another song, Fleetwood Mac of all artists...
"There's two kinds of trouble in this world: Living, dying"
Pretty much sums up the whole thing, and can be more or less applied to this one as well. For the good and the bad, we are pretty much stuck in the same situations, even if they seem different it's just variations on a theme.
Of course, meanings aside, it's still a nice song to listen to simply for the sake of enjoying that as well. Speed metal, goth-tec, trance, new age, pop, it doesn't matter really, every music has a mood and personality it matches, and in the end, I don't think anyone can say they 'hate music' as a whole, because then they could just listen to something depressing instead. So in the end, guess we really are all in this together after all.
This is a stupid song that only stupid people enjoy.
It's about a man who doesn't understand long division (apparently it "doesn't matter") trying to explain his interpretation of the universe in the only way he knows how: by combining simple, repetitive music with lyrics a preteen girl wrote down during her lunch period.
Not only does assume quantum physics has some relation to maintaining good relations between humans (it doesn't), he also makes the absurd claim that if two people are made of atoms that they are therefore obligated BY SCIENCE to love and respect one another. Which is, simply put, a gigantic load of bullshit. And since Mr. Lee probably didn't even pass high-school chemistry, I don't understand why he has the tenacity to make these claims, or why anyone would interpret them as deep and meaningful lyrics.
In conclusion Ben Lee is an idiot and he looks funny.
your anger seems pretty unreasonable for just a casual peaceful song
This song covers so many angles. Racial tolerance. Religious tolerance.
It seems mostly about a person who wants to start taking care of others because he realizes that we're all the same, but people just won't allow it to happen because they find it hard to belive anyone would be looking out for them. I really like the idea that you don't have to be lonely if you don't want to be, because there is someone out there who will cry with you, or help you, because they know we're all stuck on this crazy, mixed-up planet and unless there is a major advance in rocket science, we're stuck here together for a while, so we might as well get along and make each other happy.
